Heh, it's funny that I actually think that FFVIII is the worst game in the franchise (for me the franchise died with FFX, so everything after that is a disgrace xD). The tutorial system was some of the things I thought it was awful. And the combat system and how you can exploit it easily to be OP as hell, I thought that was a really bad decision. But, yeah, I'm the type of player who prefers a hand-holding when the game has an awful lot of gameplay mechanics and personalization. In games like BOTW there was no problem, because that game was fairly accessible to play. But in this game I'd feel at lost. It happened for me in XCX. I ended up loving the game and putting more than 150 hours on it, but at the beginning I was totally overwhelmed by it.

Incidentally, two of my favourite three Final Fantasy games are the easiest ones to abuse: 6 and 8. They are also two of the three Final Fantasy games that Tetusya Takahashi was a designer on. Both games have elements that made it into the Xeno-series.

Don't recal abusing or not in FF games. All FF games are super easy anyway so what's to abuse. Even those Omega weapons are always easy.

What made FF8 my favorite game besides enjoying story and characters was two things I think mostly. Whenever I think of replaying the game it is because of those two things.

1. The books you find that talk about new weapons and you upgrading them. Was so cool finding a new magazine showing off a new weapon upgrade and then going to a weapon smith and seeing what parts you needed for it and finally making it.

2. The card game. Collecting all the cards and playing the card game. Heck, sometimes I just play the beginning of the game and just hang out on the main area playing cards. Super fun winning tough cards from players when your deck sucks.

Love me some random stuff inside a game. Like Witcher 3's card game was great. Loving the Mercenary stuff I just unlocked in Xeno 2. Reminds me of the thing in Tales of Berseria. Not sure yet on the Poppi minigame. Don't play too many of those types of side scroller games, but its a decent enough game to play in bed portable before bed.
